Summary

This study looks at whether giving thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) to people on kidney dialysis who have slightly high TSH levels can improve their quality of life, physical strength, and heart health. About 336 adults aged 18-75 on hemodialysis will be randomly assigned to receive the hormone or a placebo. The goal is to see if this common treatment is safe and effective for this group.
